Well, I am at home with my husband and daughter. Ah! I am so glad the pregnancy is over. And in the end, it was worth it. The pay off is great. She is great. She gets cuter everyday. Is that possible? She came into the world at just 5lbs. and 6oz. Her lungs work great. The only issue is she has hyper-extended knees and her hips are misaligned. But that is all correctable. All in all, everything is better than the alternative. I am so glad it worked out this way.
We have our first appointment with the orthopedic specialist tomorrow. I am a little anxioius. But I know everything will work out. I can just feel it. Her knees and getting straighter each day. She is getting stronger.
Now, I have a hurricane (my son) and a sloth (my daughter). Whenever Lyla cries, Brandon says `Yaya!` and comes over to check on her. He uses gentle hands to stroke her and smothers her with kisses. Or he would if he could. We are doing our best to spend equal time with each child. Now, I am able to spend more time with Brandon and I want to take advantage of that time as much as possible. And enjoy the sleeping sloth too. Cause God knows, that will not last forever.
I will be 29 on Friday. I can`t believe it. I can`t believe I will be 29. Dear God! I am...aging. I feel weird about this now. Hmmm... I am 29 and I not sure about my life. Great. That`s fucking fantastic!
Right now, Lee is getting lunch and I will finish putting laundry away.

Finally, An Update!
Well, I am over the stomache flu. Just so you know. But I did catch it again. On Saturday morning of the Solstice party. I hate being pregnant with the stomache flu. This pregnancy sucks! It's not like I have been stuffing my face with Taco Bell or anything. I am eating lots of salads and soups and lots of meat off the bone. Hmmm...not sure about that one. But I am fairly healty compared to some. I would think. God-damn gastro-intestinal virus!
Anyways, Christmas was good. Brandon got spoiled. Duh! But he did not want to open any presents. Everyone opened something for him. He didn't unwrap the boxes, but he wanted to the toy inside. Typical.
Brandon is not a big fan of co-operating these days. He is trying to exert his independence but saying "No" or "Not". Even though daycare and bedtime are not optional, he still tries. Well, if you had the amount of toys and fun stuff to do at home that Brandon does, you would want to stay home too.
The new baby's birthdat is impending. I believe I have lost my muccus plug and I have started having some Braxton Hicks contractions as well as increased vaginal and pelvic pressure. You know when the uteris tightens, you are in trouble. Discomfort is a larger part of my day right now. I just want this to be over and I want to hold my baby. *sigh* I know NOW, is not the best time, but sooner would be okay with me. I don`t think I can go another 28 days. I am an impatient person. I want to meet my baby NOW! or sooner please.
Well, I finally took the career aptitude tests and....it seems I am perfect for a career in accounting and banking. Fuck! I don`t want to do that! Damn book tested my skills, not my interests. Fuck! What a waste. Well, in the late spring I will endeavor to meet with a career counsellor and take a look at all my options. I feel more confused than ever. What the crap!
Saw the movie Juno on Monday. What a fabulous film. Ellen Page, as the lead, is phenomenal. She is amazing. Nobody phones in a performance on that movie. The dialogue is fantastic. And it is funny. I almost laughed. Seriously. And I don`t laugh. I recommend to anyone this movie to everyone. You will not have wasted 2 hours.
That`s about it. I am going to call my Doctor now and tell her all my pre-labour symptoms.
